Abstract:
The adsorption of cis and trans 2-butenes on Pt(111) has been studied as a function of hydrogen coverage θH by means of calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) with the inclusion of dispersion forces. All hydrogen coverages have been considered, from 0 to 1.00 monolayer (ML). For each case, the di-σ and π adsorption geometries of the olefins have been compared at a surface coverage of θC4H8 = 0.11 ML. Calculations of the Gibbs free energies of these systems have identified the most stable 2-butene isomer (cis or trans) as a function of coverage, temperature, and pressure. In particular, focus was placed on two sets of conditions, namely, one with a pressure of 10-7 Torr, a temperature of 80 K, and a gas ratio (PH2/Pbutene) of 25, similar to the conditions used in surface-science studies, and a second with a pressure of 1 bar, a temperature range of 300-400 K, and a gas ratio (PH2/Pbutene) of 10, similar to catalytic hydrogenation conditions. With all selected functionals (PW91, PBE-TS, and optPBE), di-σ bonding was found to be the most stable for both isomers of 2-butene and for all hydrogen coverages except for θH = 1.00 ML. At low pressures, 2-butene is physisorbed at low temperatures (≤125 K with PBE-TS and ≤90 K with optPBE); however, when the temperature increases, coadsorption of the butene with 6 H atoms becomes the most stable configuration of the system (θH = 0.67 ML), and finally, 2-butene desorbs around 380 K, as estimated with PBE-TS (or around 325 K with optPBE). Interestingly, a switch in stability was observed with hydrogen coverage, from the adsorbed trans isomer being the more stable for θH © 2018 American Chemical Society.
